Sites in France to stay on, advice needed here...

[ScoobyDoo]

Looking for somewhere to stay in France, have never ever been so have no clue where is nice so all advice needed.

Family of 4, we have 2 children ds who is 5 dd who is 2, kids love the beach, ds not to bothered about pool's slides as bit scared, would like a chalet or mobile home on a beach, has to be sandy beach, would like a park for the kids & shop otherwise don't want anything to big & noisy.

Would like some hot weather not sure which part of france is best to go to get this?

Looking at going in Middle of June or End of August beginning of Sept.

So all recommendations welcome & the cheapest way to book, i do have a brochure here brittany ferries holidays.

TIA

scooby look on the camping board, loads of ideas there. Vendee is good as is La Rochelle and Ile de Re

Where is the best place to book a ferrie for cheapest prices?

Will see what i can find on the camping boards now, thanks

Have had a look through & there is quite alot of recommendations!

Have seen Chantepie which sounds interesting, if we got a ferry from portsmouth where would we need to get it too & how long would the drive be?

Have seen Vendee mentioned a few times anywhere nice to stay here would this be a long drive from ferry?

Looks like we need south France for the weather?

Blimey this holiday thing is so hard when theres so much choice.
